English language Challenges





Well, this year was very short and too strong the English's experience has been interesting and very stressfull, yes I get so nervous when I have to speak in English, I see myself so stupid when I trying to speak something.
I need to improve my English's abilities in general. The most important is: how I can to think in English? and to improve the measurable skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, I must to be constant (that is the problem) I need to practice in a real situation not in a laboratory where all is controlled I think. I need real contact with native speakers and real problems and to learn to understand the most difficult in English: phrasal verbs. I must to make a plan to improve my English significantly, I need to search somebody for to practice day to day for to speak naturally (is like to play a guitar).
Regardless, the English experience at the Uni. was very interesting, I really like to write for to practice the writing skills, but we need more focused classes for to put on practice the other macro skills I miss the listening classes and the grammar and we need more group dynamics.
Nowadays I feel that I use English for nothing in special...
In conclusion we need more hours per week, to change the dynamics for to improve the experience (the redundant makes boring classes and reduces the learning) and to change the class schedule (on Saturdays by example) because 18:30 is the worst time for to learn.

This year: up and down


In this entry I’m going to talk about “THIS YEAR”.

This year has been a bit weird how Sinatra said “I have been up and down”,
This is my last year (I hope) learning fine art photography at University of Chile and I feel that it was too short (seems like 4 years are nothing). In general I’ve found a bit poor this year in terms of experiences, abilities and knowledges, many problems for to make art and go forward. Sometimes This year has been like a 
copy of the last year, not funny parody.
I hope to change my way to think the next year because I need to learn other things for survive, different to a Arts so I wanna learn economy or something similar like management.
But not all is bad in this year because I learnt many things about photography by example: how to print fine art and how to set it up. I met the other side of the photo world, the cooliest side. This side that earn lot of money. By example: for a simple photo you can earn like 800.000 I don’t talking’ about a photo from Munita, Quintana or Poirot.
Finally in terms of economy I feel that I’ve lost too much –part of my musical heritage– but if I add and rest I got  0 –I think–

My plans for this summer

Hello fellas again, in this entry I'm going to talk about my summer plans.

I have three main plans:

My first one:

In this summer I'm going to travel to "Isla de Pascua" because I need to release the accumulated stress from this horrible year -this year was very weird-. I have a ticket's dealer who sell very cheap. Its costs 650.000 clp around, seven days with all include even the air tickets. In this place I'd like to meet their people, archaeological constructions and the most important for me: their landscapes. I always dream of landscapes like the island, the hills dresses up with grass, white sand beaches bathed with pristine water from the sea. Also I'd like to meet their people with their local customs and traditions, and to teach my abilities as an artist.

My Second one:

In january I'm gonna take a class of design tools and projects management on the University to complement my resume and to learn how to earn easy money or how spend it –being the evil puppeteer behind the curtains of my work area–. It's a class to develop knowledge to apply for superior studies because in april I will apply to Diploma –not in my work area–.


My Third one:

Do nothing and spend my time watching the whole series that I didn't saw in 2015. I have got a collection from Hitchcock, Lars Von Trier and many anime series.
